「✧」 "There's a place you might like," Klaus had mentioned yesterday, "where you can get your powers back."

And that was already enough for Aurelius to say yes.

He felt it the moment they soared into the air above the Sky-Strewn Isles, Klaus' hand around his waist and his own arm slung casually around the man's shoulders. A warmth flooding into his body and all his nerves as his breaths grew light. Senses sharpened, power swelled, and by the time they reached the area proper, Aurelius was airborne on his own without much help.

He squeezed Klaus' arm before pushing away, and ended up hovering in the air a few feet away from the other man. The sight of his companion's two-winged form was expected, but a little underwhelming—for some unfathomable reason, Aurelius had been expecting...more. He cleared away the frivolous thought and smiled at Klaus while his eyes began to glow in soft, beautiful hues.

"What a lovely surprise you've gifted me, Klaus."

"I've been longing to stretch my wings."

Pausing in mid-air, Aurelius stilled...before falling backwards to plummet head-first towards the ground. Seconds later, there was a low boom as four wings appeared on his back, gloriously golden and glittering. Effortlessly, the divinus arced back up until he was hovering above Klaus and reached out a hand.

A golden feather rested between his fingers.

"I don't know if it'll last," Aurelius began. "But please, take this as a token of my gratitude."
